The Seattle Mariners announced Tuesday that they have placed RHP Bryan Woo on the 15-day injured list with right forearm inflammation. The club announced they were promoting RHP Ryder Ryan to help bolster the bullpen, with Emerson Hancock to take Woo’s place in the rotation for Wednesday’s game at a minimum, with the schedule ensuring Woo will miss at least two starts. Additionally, the Mariners designated RHP Matt Festa for assignment and claimed RHP Ryan Jensen from the Chicago Cubs. The 40-man roster remains full at 40.
The timing here is intriguing, as Woo’s IL stint is backdated to August 5th following his last outing, meaning he would be eligible to return as soon as August 20th.
